Combat Insomnia

Do you toss and turn for hours at night?

Do you wake yourself up every morning with tons of coffee instead of a restorative sleep?

Are you aware of the causes for your sleeping difficulty?

Before you rush towards sleeping aids, try the following steps to save yourself from sleepless nights.

Stick to a routine

Reinforce your internal clock by sticking to the same bedtime. If there's a special event and your schedule changes, make sure to catch op on lost sleep. Then get back to your established routine.

Thinking about work and life keeps your brain active. When it's bedtime, devote your body and soul to sleep. Remember: sleep boosts productivity. Insomnia ruins it.
